We Are Changing the Lives of Alaskan Families

VOA has been changing the lives of Alaskan families since 1981. Delivering high-quality behavioral health services, VOA fights the impact of addictions in our community through community prevention, treatment, and recovery supports for adolescents and families.

Helping Alaskans' Reach Their Potential

We’re a non-profit agency dedicated to helping people choose and maintain healthy drug-free lifestyles. Our prevention programs work to reduce the number of people ever entering the world of addiction, while outpatient and residential programs treat those already trapped in the disease.

Creating Hope

For almost 40 years, we have served Alaskans through our core mission to relieve human suffering. In Alaska, we fight addictions, stand with those who are alone, and provide housing to those without a stable home. We work to change community conditions and prevent risk behaviors through public health initiatives and partnerships. We support grandparents as caregivers, and promote positive youth leadership development - and so much more. Join us in this work!

Helping a Grandfather Care for His Grandkids

Mel became the caretaker of his two beautiful grandkids who were diagnosed with autism and cancer. Mel's son and his former daughter-in-law were unable to afford the children's doctor appointments, therapy sessions, and surgeries, so Mel happily stepped in.
